Has anyone converted this VHS FT-1000MP video to
DVD form?

I'd rather keep it in that format.

I don't know, but I did read an article in the Wall Street Journal this 
past Thursday that tells about a VHS to DVD service that is available at 
CVS drugstores, Target stores and others.  Maybe someone can do it, 
although I suppose there is a Yaesu copyright in which case they might 
refuse to do it. Here is a clip from WSJ.

A: There are such services. One that I have tested and found to be good is 
called YesVideo (yesvideo.com). You bring your videos into a store that 
works with YesVideo -- including CVS, Walgreen, Best Buy and Target -- and 
they send the tapes to YesVideo, which converts them to a very nice DVD. 
You also can get the same service online, at Sony's ImageStation site 
(www.imagestation.com). Sony calls its service Video2DVD, but it really is 
just the YesVideo service. My full review of the service is at: 
ptech.wsj.com/archive/solution-20040128.html.

Because YesVideo works through retailers, prices vary, but are usually 
around $25-$35 for a two-hour video. Each DVD is divided into chapters 
based on a YesVideo process that tries to detect scene changes in your 
videos. At the end, there are three 60-second music videos made from scenes 
on your videos.
